AI Drones Competition

Objective:
To familiarise students with concepts related to Artificial Intelligence such as object recognition and aerial robotics. We expect students to learn about Machine Learning and object recognition as well as drones flying techniques.

Description:
The school will organise a series of workshops. The workshops include theoretical session conducted in a classroom, including application and constraints of the drone and practical session conducted in school hall or playground for testing the feasibility in controlling the drone to take various routes. Moderate level session may include creating a customised computer vision model etc. Advanced level session may include using various simple coding to build a computer vision model.

After the workshops, the school will organise an intra-school competition for students. Students will be divided into teams and each team has only 8 minutes to recognise four sets of objects like apple, pear, pomelo, banana and mango with their model while flying the drone. Prizes will be awarded to teams with best drone-flying skills, greatest number of identified objects, the most accurately trained AI models and shortest completion time.
